Chapter 8: The Legacy

As Emma and Josh sat on the porch of their home, they reflected on their lives and the legacy they wanted to leave behind.

"I can't believe how far we've come," Emma said. "Starting a church, getting married, having kids, going on a mission trip to Rwanda – it's been an incredible journey."

"I know," Josh said, "and it's not over yet. There's still so much we can do to make a difference in the world."

Emma nodded. "That's true, but I also want to make sure we leave a legacy for our children. Something they can be proud of and continue."

"I agree," Josh said. "But what do you think that legacy should be?"

"I think it should be about love," Emma said. "Our love for each other, our love for our children, and our love for God. That's what has gotten us this far, and I want that to continue."

Josh smiled. "That's beautiful. And it reminds me of a Bible verse: 'And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.' We've had faith and hope throughout our journey, but it's our love that has truly sustained us."

Emma smiled back at him. "Exactly. And I want our legacy to be a legacy of love. I want people to look at us and see the love we have for each other and for God, and be inspired to love more deeply themselves."

They sat in silence for a moment, lost in their thoughts. Then Emma spoke up again. "And I also want our legacy to be about service. We've been so blessed in our lives, and I want to give back to others as much as we can."

"I couldn't agree more," Josh said. "I think that's why the mission trip to Rwanda was so important to us. We were able to serve and make a difference in the lives of people who have so little."

Emma nodded. "Yes, and I want to continue that kind of work. Maybe we can start a non-profit or something, to help fund more mission trips or to support local organizations doing good work."

Josh grinned. "I love it. A legacy of love and service. I think that's something we can definitely achieve."

Emma leaned over and kissed him. "I know we can. Together, we can do anything."
